Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve reactants transforming into products.
- Reactants and products are identified in a chemical equation.
- The arrow indicates the transformation of reactants into products.
Valence
- Valence is the combining power of an element or the number of electrons an atom needs to gain, lose, or share to achieve a full or stable outer electron shell.
- The octet rule suggests atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to have eight electrons in their outer shell.
Oxidation Number
- Oxidation state, or number, is assigned to elements in a molecule.
- Determine the oxidation states of all other elements in the molecule first, excluding the element of interest.
- The sum of all oxidation numbers equals zero, or the net charge on a molecule.
Chemical Equations
- Chemical equations consist of reactants and products.
- Reactants are the substances at the start of a reaction.
- Products are the result of a chemical reaction.
Symbols in Equations
- An arrow separates reactants from products.
- The + sign indicates "and."
- Suffixes like (s), (g), (l), and (aq) describe the physical state of a substance (solid, gas, liquid, aqueous solution respectively)
- Δ indicates that heat is added to the reaction.
- Pt or other similar notations indicate a catalyst.
Catalysts
- Catalysts speed up chemical reactions without being consumed.
- Enzymes are biological catalysts.
Law of Definite Proportions
- Atoms combine in specific ratios to create compounds with specific compositions.
Types of Chemical Reactions
-
Combination (Synthesis): Two or more reactants combine to form a single product.
- Example: Ca + O2 → CaO, SO3 + H2O → H2SO4
-
Decomposition: A single reactant breaks down into two or more products.
- Example: NaCl → Na + Cl2, CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
-
Single Replacement: One element replaces another in a compound.
- Example: K + NaCl → Na + KCl, F2 + LiCl → LiF + Cl2
- Metals can replace each other and hydrogen in a similar reaction.
- Example: K + HOH → KOH + H, Zn + HCL → ZnCl2 + H2
-
Double Replacement: The ions of two compounds switch places to form two new compounds.
- Example: AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO3, NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O
Combustion Reactions
- In combustion, oxygen combines with a substance to form carbon dioxide and water.
- An example is burning naphthalene: C10H8 + 12 O2 → 10 CO2 + 4 H2O
Acids and Bases
- Acids donate protons (H+) in solution.
- Examples: HCl → H+ + Cl−, H2SO4 → H+ + HSO4−
- Bases donate hydroxide ions (OH−) in solution.
- Examples: NaOH → Na+ + OH−, KOH → K+ + OH−
Properties of Acids
- Acids taste sour and turn blue litmus paper red.
- Acids react with metals to release hydrogen gas.
- Acids react with carbonates/bicarbonates to produce CO2.
- Acids react with bases to produce salts and water.
Properties of Bases
- Bases taste bitter and feel soapy.
- Bases turn red litmus paper blue.
- Bases react with acids to form salts and water.
Modern Acid-Base Theory
- An acid is a substance capable of donating a proton.
- A base is a substance capable of accepting a proton.
- Example: NH3 + H2O → NH4+ + OH−
Classification of Acids and Bases
- Strong acids and bases completely ionize in solution.
- Example: KOH → K+ + OH−
- Weak acids and bases only partially ionize.
Strong Acids
- HCl, HBr, HI, HClO3, HClO4, H2SO4, HNO3
Strong Bases
- NaOH, KOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2
Dissociation Constant (K)
- K is the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of an acid or base.
- Ka is higher in strong acids.
- Kb is the dissociation constant of bases.
pH
- pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution.
- The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.
Measuring pH
- Litmus paper: changes color based on pH.
- pH paper: uses multiple dyes to indicate pH.
- pH meter: provides a precise pH measurement.
Salts
- Salts are ionic compounds with a positive ion (other than H+) and a negative ion (other than OH−).
- Different types of salts (e.g., Neutral, Acidic,Basic) result from different types of neutralization reactions.
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
- Oxidation is loss of electrons or increase in valence.
- Reduction is gain of electrons or decrease in valence.
- Oxidation and reduction reactions always occur simultaneously.
- Oxidizing agents gain electrons; reducing agents lose electrons.
